Arrived at 12 o'clock on Friday and the restaurant was already full, so we had to write our name, number of people, seating preference (chair or raised tatami seating), and phone number on the waiting board and wait in the car. There were 4 groups ahead of us. The first group left quickly and we were able to be seated in about 10 minutes. The service was warm and excellent! The lunch menu ranged from 1,000 to 1,600 yen, with classic Western dishes like fried foods, cutlets, and hamburgers that were all so tempting. I couldn't decide, but ended up ordering the mixed fry with plenty of vegetable salad, 2 squid, 2 shrimp, oysters, white fish, and salmon (7 items). The rice was made with local rice and was refillable, and the miso soup, pickles, and tartar sauce (also refillable) were all delicious without any complaints. The crispy fry dipped in tartar sauce was so satisfying and made me feel happy. The restaurant also had a spacious parking lot. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

In September in Obihiro, I wanted to eat the famous Obihiro beef, so I searched and found this place. They use only Obihiro beef, and there are different ranks which are reflected in the prices. There were more customers than I expected, mostly locals filling up the place. I arrived late for lunch, but I decided to order the following: - Beef fillet steak lunch set for 1480 yen, which comes with rice, miso soup, salad, and coffee - Draft beer for 600 yen I had to wait a bit with my salad and beer. Then, they brought out the beef fillet steak on a sizzling hot plate with onions. The sauce was served separately and I poured it on the hot plate, sizzling sound! I wasn't expecting high quality for a lunch, but the beef fillet was a bit tough. It was a lunch to enjoy eating meat! The crispy garlic on top was a nice touch. Maybe I should have ordered a non-lunch meat dish instead. I enjoyed the beer and the Obihiro beef. The journey to find the desired Obihiro beef continues. Thank you for the meal.

Manabe 2022.04.23 Today, what I can do is to support at least the food and beverage establishments while being very careful. Let's all do our best together ✨ With that feeling, I headed to the old-fashioned Western-style restaurant "Restaurant Manabe" as a second choice after the preparation of the popular restaurant "Dosanko" was still ongoing. It's been a while since I last visited the place. They offer takeout as well. Located on the east side of Obihiro, along Minami 9-chome Street, across from Tsuruha Drugstore Obihiro Higashi 9-jo store. The exterior is a two-story brick building, and inside, it is spacious and clean with several tables for 2-6 people and a raised seating area. It was 11:56 a.m. I ordered my favorite menu from Manabe. Instead of the lunch set, I chose a la carte because it has more items. ★ A la carte Mixed Fry 1,100 yen (tax included). ★ Rice 180 yen (tax included), with free refills. In about 7 minutes, the fry arrived. The fry included oysters, scallops, 3 shrimp, salmon, squid, and white fish. It was served with plenty of homemade tartar sauce, hot and crispy, and delicious ✨ It also came with potato salad and cabbage on the side. I will definitely come back for the fry again. Thank you for the meal m(__)m Restaurant Manabe - Business hours: 11:30-15:00, 17:00-21:00 - Closed on Mondays

It was extremely crowded even in the early afternoon. It took quite a while for the food to arrive. The meal was like a course with salad and appetizers included (although the appetizers were frozen). The steak was delicious and you could choose how it was cooked. It felt really satisfying to eat so much meat. The price was quite high, but it's a delicious restaurant.

Manabe-san's weekday lunch. I arrived at 12 o'clock, but it's crowded... You can also order from the regular menu, but since I came all this way, I decided to go for the lunch menu. When it comes to lunch menu options with meat, there's the sliced beef steak, beef steak set, and diced beef cutlet, all priced at 1280 yen. While there are many reviews for the sliced beef steak lunch, there aren't as many for the beef steak set, which caught my interest so I decided to order it. It arrived in just over 10 minutes. Despite the crowd, the service was surprisingly fast. I think it's because they prepare the meat well. The meat was very tender. You can tell that this is a well-loved establishment. The meat is enveloped in a sweet and salty sauce, butter, and fried garlic, so my impression after eating was not just delicious, but rather, it made me feel happy. And the rice is delicious too. Not too firm, not too soft. The rice absorbs all the meat juices, butter, and sauce, so you can keep eating even without the meat (although the portion of meat is quite generous). The coffee after the meal is included in the price, so I actually think it's quite cheap! There were a lot of salarymen there, but the only concern is the smell, haha. But if you choose the steak set instead of the sliced steak, you don't have to worry about splattering oil, so that's good. It was a weekday lunch for work, so I regret not being able to relax more (=;ω;=) I hope people can enjoy a leisurely meal with their family or loved ones at this kind of restaurant.

This week's Sunday lunch was at Manabe for the first time after work. I actually tried to visit last week, but I arrived just after the lunch time had ended. This time, I had the steak lunch set (1350 yen), which seemed to be a popular choice for lunch. The sizzling steak arrived on a hot plate, but surprisingly the sizzling sound quieted down quickly. The large garlic chips were a nice touch. The sauce, which tasted like garlic soy sauce, came in a container similar to a curry roux and there was plenty of it. The set also included a small salad and miso soup. The meat itself, when eaten without the sauce, had a moderate umami flavor. However, when I poured the sauce over it, my appetite was instantly stimulated. The onions under the meat, soaked in the sauce, were also delicious and made me want to keep eating. I even thought about taking some of the sauce home with me. The coffee after the meal was smooth and had a refreshing aftertaste. It was so good that I felt it would be a waste to drink water afterwards. I would like to try coming back for dinner next time.

I headed to the restaurant Manabe to have lunch. A few years ago, I had the steakjuu and steak lunch with diced steak here, and it was delicious. I was curious about how their tonkatsu, which is my recent favorite, would be, so I decided to revisit. [COVID-19 measures] There is a bottle of disinfectant alcohol in the entrance's airlock. There is also a machine to automatically measure body temperature inside the restaurant, but when I went, the machine was not working properly, so the staff measured it for me. The tables are plentiful, and there is enough space between them. There are no counter seats, and there are no screens on the tables. Each table has a bottle of alcohol, and there is something that looks like a mask case with "MUSK inn" written on it. It's just a folded piece of paper, but it's nice to have something like this. I saw the staff spray alcohol on the table and wipe it properly after the previous customers left. The restaurant is old, but the interior is very clean. It's a restaurant with a high level of infection control measures. [Today's choice] The restaurant opens at 11:30 a.m. I arrived before 11 a.m. on a weekday today, but no customers had arrived yet. However, at 11:25, 7-8 cars had arrived, and there were few parking spaces left. I lined up in front of the restaurant's entrance three minutes before opening, and I was the third in line. Today, I ordered the "Pork Cutlet (with rice, miso soup, pickles for 880 yen tax included)." [Seating to serving] First, water and a paper towel are brought to the table. On the table, there are bottles of sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, large and small napkins, toothpicks, and a small dessert menu. About 10 minutes after ordering, disposable chopsticks are brought, followed by the appearance of the pork cutlet, rice, miso soup, and pickles. The plate of pork cutlet also includes potato salad, sliced tomato and cucumber, shredded cabbage, and lettuce. [Rice] You can have free refills, but I didn't. The freshly cooked rice has standing grains of rice. It may be slightly firm, but it's just right for me. [Miso soup] It's a white miso soup with wakame seaweed and green onions. The moment you drink it, you can strongly taste the bonito broth, and there is a faint flavor of dried sardines when you finish drinking it. It's a delicious miso soup. [Pork Cutlet] The lean part is slightly tough, and the meat's umami flavor is not very strong. There is some fat but not much, and there is little richness, umami, or sweetness. The coating is very crispy, but it's already separating from the meat before you touch it. Since it's a professional-made cutlet, I wish they had made sure the coating and meat didn't separate. The demiglace sauce is already poured over half of the cutlet, but the sauce's saltiness is quite low, and the umami flavor is not very strong. [Shredded cabbage] The cabbage is cut incredibly thin. It's almost impossible to cut it any thinner. The dressing on the cabbage was just delicious. The potato salad is made only with potatoes and onions. [Pickles] It's salt-pickled daikon radish. It's not too salty and has a slight sweetness. Overall, the portion size is average. If you need more, I think it's enough to have a rice refill. The rice and miso soup were delicious, but I wish the other items were a bit more improved. Next time, I want to try the fried food. Thank you for the meal.

During the self-restraint period, I searched for a restaurant on Tabelog for the first time in a while and found that the opening hours were shortened due to the current situation, with last order at 7:30 pm. Although I wasn't very hungry, I decided to try the Hamburg and Shrimp Fry course for ¥2000. I had never spent around ¥2000 on a meal in Obihiro before, and this restaurant offered courses ranging from ¥1800 to over ¥5000, so I was curious to see what it would be like. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of my expectations - the appetizer of prosciutto was served frozen and ended up being sticky after thawing, the corn and beans on the main plate were cold, and the Hamburg, although large, became a bit monotonous towards the end. However, the coffee and the attentive service from the staff at the end were excellent. I hope the restaurant can improve, so I decided to give a slightly harsh rating. Perhaps I have become accustomed to the atmosphere of Obihiro's town as well.

Hamburger Steak - 880 yen Comes with rice, miso soup, and pickles. The hamburger steak was soft and covered in plenty of demiglace sauce. I cut it with chopsticks and ate it with the rice. The satisfaction of savoring the sauce-covered rice was immense.

I visited this restaurant about half a year ago. Tomorrow I have plans to enjoy seafood in Kushiro, so today I was in the mood for some meat. A friend recommended this place, which seemed to be an old establishment with a lot of character. The interior was charming and most of the customers appeared to be locals. They have a variety of Western dishes like mixed fry and hamburg steak. This time, I ordered the sagari steak, fillet steak, and scallop fry. The sagari and fillet steaks came with salad and prosciutto. The prosciutto was served frozen but was surprisingly delicious, with a rich flavor that melted in the mouth. The fillet steak, although only 200 grams, seemed larger and was tender and tasty. The steak sauce was quite strong, so it's better to use it sparingly. The scallop fry came with 7 pieces, a generous portion. I enjoyed them with plenty of homemade tartar sauce. We were two people and the portions were quite large, leaving us happily full. They also offer lunch specials, which seem to be popular. I wish this place was closer to where I live, as I would definitely become a regular customer.

I went to Restaurant Manabe for the first time! I decided to come here as I had heard a lot about the steak in Obihiro, and Manabe's name always comes up. The exterior looks new, but the interior has a sense of history. It is very clean and the staff are very calm. I looked at the menu and ordered the Beef Steak Lunch for 1,280 yen, which comes with rice, miso soup, salad, and a drink. I chose iced coffee as my drink. The iced coffee was a bit weak, reminding me of when I used to make instant coffee as a child. The steak lunch is reasonably priced compared to other options. It arrived in less than 10 minutes and smelled delicious with garlic. The meat was tender and full of flavor, and the onions added a nice touch. The garlic was strong and made me crave more. You can also get a rice refill, so I ordered another half portion. The miso soup was served in a cup, adding a Western touch to the meal. Overall, it was a great steak experience at Restaurant Manabe. Thank you for the meal!

I used it for lunch on Sunday. There were families, couples, and women of various ages. As mentioned in the reviews, it was just as expected. The nostalgic atmosphere inside the restaurant was clean, with a good distance between tables, allowing for a relaxed meal. I ordered the mixed fry, which had a crispy and thin coating that I liked, and the inside was juicy. It was very delicious. It's very difficult to make several types of fried foods at home. Everyone in my group ordered fried dishes, but the meat dishes also looked delicious. I will definitely visit again!

Chicken cutlet with rice. For some reason, I like to eat chicken cutlet with demi-glace sauce, so I decided to try it here. It was crowded, but I was able to get a seat easily. It's interesting that they have tatami seating in this Western-style restaurant. Since it's a holiday, I didn't order the lunch menu. I ordered the rice separately. The mixed fry and gratin also look good. Here it is, a white plate with the cutlet surrounded by demi-glace sauce. The side dishes are carrots, green beans, corn, and French fries. There's a thin layer of cheese on top of the cutlet. I immediately cut into it and took a bite - it's hot, crispy, and delicious. The demi-glace sauce has a nice flavor, not too sweet. It's crispy and fragrant like a grilled cutlet. Pork cutlet must be tasty too. But I think I'll still choose chicken next time.

It's the weekend of November 2018. My son was born on Tuesday of this week, so I took my mother, who has become a grandmother, to Obihiro. Both chappytsum and chappybaba were eager, but hunger got the best of us, so we started with lunch at "Restaurant Manabe". The restaurant was full, but luckily there were no waiting customers, so we were seated after a 10-minute wait. The menu had a variety of dishes like a typical local Western-style restaurant. Both of us ordered the mixed fry. The mixed fry costs 980 yen and comes with rice, miso soup, and pickles. The mixed fry had squid, shrimp, oysters, thread-sail filefish, and salmon. I traded my oysters for chappybaba's salmon and thread-sail filefish to satisfy her love for oyster fry. The coffee after the meal was 320 yen, but discounted to 200 yen. It was very flavorful and delicious. It was probably the first time my mother had coffee outside. It was better than the coffee at chain coffee shops.

If you want to eat Sagari steak in Obihiro, go here instead of the other store!!

Filet steak 250g for a little over 10,000 yen is just right cooked medium rare. There are also filet steaks for around 4,000 yen, but when compared, the texture of the meat fibers when chewed is completely different, so you should eat the higher-ranked one.
